He Fought the Teacher

A dispatch from Parkersburg, this
State, says: Creel Wilson. the teacher
of the little school near Pennsboro', a
few miles from here, found it necessary
to punish apupil, aged seventeen years,
named Davis. The youth iSa big, burly
fellow, and notorious for the trouble he
has given teachers in this district. When
the teacher attempted to correct him
Davis drew Il large knife from his poke
and made a plunge al the schoolmaster's
neck, but his aim missed, aud the knife
penetrated his forehead, severing the
temporal artery, crushing the bone aud
cutting OF the right ear. Wilson crap
pied with his assailant and terrible
struggle ensued. The girls and smaller
boys cried. and begged Davis not to kill
their teacher. During the fight the
schoolmaster received several more
wounds in the neck and head. He was
finally forced to succumb, having re-
ceived not less than ten stabs. Davis,
thinking he had killed him, fed. AS
soon as the school children recovered
from their fright, assistance was called
and Wilson was taken home. His i'm
juries are believed TO be fatal.

slowly Roasted 10 Dea.h.


A webberville (Mich.j dispatch says:
The cry of Fire. aroused the people
shortly before midnight last Tuesday
night. and they rushed from their homes
to find the town Jail in flames. 1t was a
one story wooden structure standing
alone in sn open square. Above the
cracking Of the flames, cries were heard
from an inmate Of one of the cells. When
the citizens arrived the doomed man was
seen frantically beating the bars Of his
cell and crviLg for help. The people
were powerless to rescue him and in the
nr.spnce Of the crowd he slowly roasted
10 death. Some Of the crowd made in
etfpclual attempts TO save him hut were
driven away 5y the heat. The pale face
and glsriug eyes Of the miserable wretch
were framed by the black, unyielding
bars of his cell door. Little by little he
was forced hack, but only when the bars
became red hot did he abandon all hope
of escape.
The horror of the situation proved
such frightful mental strain OF the
prisoner that he became insane. Tear
ing his scOrched clothing off he dashed
himself against the bals and grabbed
the red hot irons i'm the vain endeavor
10 escape. An odor Of burned flesh
prrvaded the air and made many of the
people sick. Frantically cursing the
crowd for not helping him the roasting
mnn rushed madly around the narrow
enclosure. while the lookers-on stood
rooted by horror 20 the spot. Gradually
his cries grew faluter, and he was seen
TO sink to the floor an soon all was
over. The prisoner was Newhall Tyler,
thirty-eight years old. He had been
jailed for striking II hey on the head.
Tyler had been on spree and the boy
had annoyed him. He fired the prison.
hoping he would be released thereby.

verdict of guilty in All the thirty-three
counts on which he was tried. \ motion

and Harper was sentenced to ten years
in the Ohio penitentiary. When the
court directed Harper TO stand up for
sentence the prisoner arose with
blanched face and tears coming down
his cheeks. Behind his chair, with
bowed head sat his wife wringing her
hands. The court, with impressive SOL
emnity. recitcd the usual form of sen
tence, saying the evidence left no doubt
of the defendants guilt, and that the of
Tense merited the highest penalty of the
law, which would be inflicted nOw-ten
years in the Ohio pcnitentiary. Mr..
Harper sat down. Turning 10 his wife,
their lips met: her hands were around
his neck; his arms encumpassed her;
Jurors wept; women AMI men all over
the court room were in tears. Mr..
Blackburn asked that the order for ill.,
mediate imprisonment be suspended,
and gave as Il reason that there was
much business TO be attended 10 by Mr..
Harper, in which his wife was closely
concerned. Judge Sage said there could
